At gloCaltravel we offer sound tourism alternatives to mass package-holidays, with travel solutions that co-operate with the local communities throughout Mexico to improve their economy, and protect their local environments.
Our ecotours range from daily activities and excursions to longer trips exploring different regions, and are all focused on nature watching and on the discovery of the amazing archaeology and culture of Mexico, with interaction activities with the locals.
Our lodging options are ecolodges, indipendent hotels, B&Bs, camps, posadas, and haciendas all over the country, avoiding hotel chains and mass tourist resorts.
Through our blog, activities and campaigns we are also dedicated to raising awareness amongst tourists of the importance of environmental conservation, and to cooperate with local operators for a more sustainable development of the tourist industry.
We provide also information about NGO's operating on the Mexican territory, together with volunteering programs, and shopping tips which follow principles of social equity and fair trade.
Although we are based in London, unlike other operators we spend at least a couple of months per year in Mexico, going on tours, trying accommodation options and meeting the local guides in order to have firsthand knowledge of the holidays we sell through our website. We prefer checking their eco-behaviour on the spot instead of simply relying on their published policies about sustainability and environmental conservation.
